Step-by-Step Instructions to Make the Best Tater Tot Cheeseburger Casserole

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.

Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks. Once fully browned, drain any excess grease to keep the dish from becoming too oily.

Step 3: Combine the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, bacon bits, cheddar cheese, frozen tater tots, cheddar cheese soup, and sour cream. Stir everything together until evenly mixed.

Step 4: Assemble the Casserole

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Make sure the tater tots are well-distributed so that each bite has the perfect balance of flavors.

Step 5: Bake the Casserole

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and golden brown on top. The cheese should be melted and slightly crispy at the edges.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Once the casserole is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes. Top with bread and butter pickles for a tangy crunch that enhances the flavors. Serve hot and enjoy!
